Assemblage des complexes ribonucléoprotéiques

Abstract

RNA-proteins interactions are involved in numerous cellular functions. These interactions are found in most cases within complex macromolecular assemblies. The recent development of tools and techniques to study RNA-protein complexes has significantly increased our knowledge in the nature of these specific interactions. The aim of this article is to present the different techniques used to study RNA-protein complexes, as well as recent data concerning the application of RNA as therapeutic molecules.
